How you declutter your house?

[Can Or Not]

They will watch us and the moment we finish that part of space they say “hmm I want to look please 🫣”

Who watch? Throw it down the main rubbish chute…

 

[Can Or Not]

Step 1, don't anyhow buy
Step 2, make sure whatever you comes in must go out. Means buy sth new then sth old must go.
Step 3 if dw how to keep just throw or give away

I been doing this. I am quite a minimalist. In life the only thing if you wanna hoard should be cash and assets not stuff. Caz end up very mafan to keep and need throw.

Also once you move enough house you will also realised the importance of not keeping too many things. The way I handle it is I make sure if tmr I die I won't have too much rubbish for ppl to help me throw. With such mindset u will start to hoard less and throw more.

I wanted to buy a mitre saw but no space to put Liao… sian

u need to do it as a team: get your children to do their part

bit by bit, slowly will get to dispose unwanted stuffs, rather than u have to do it all on your own

time consuming, espc weekends the only time available

even that, your children can maybe afford only a few hours to spare, as they have plans for the weekend too

I am all alone doing.
Sometimes, it overwhelming n I just sat on the sofa daze...
Sometimes, I hv no mood to pack due to flash back.
Guess I hv to start in about few minutes time..

Best part of decluttering is the things you disposed of (because you had not been using them for the longest time) will suddenly be useful soon after you have thrown them away.

I feel like throwing all my 2G nokia and Ericsson (yes, no Sony yet) phones, and pager because I won't be using them.
But if I do that, I cannot show off in boomer's thread reminiscing about the past.

Guys,

Can share how you do it?
Especially if a person like me has attachment, hard to throw away things not use for months..

for me i never declutter, my room alone got alot of things already, hardly have space to walk around. i rarely throw my things cause they cost money, and some things cannot get liao. so i just pack them nicely.

Hi Ts and all, declutter is good. Start by tidying up the different parts of the house slowly. Shortlist things that you feel can be removed / sold. Remove those first.

Then repeat the cycle again for other areas of the house. The other way is to dispose directly. I try not to do that unless the things are really damaged or of no emotional value / physical value anymore.

my strategy is to donate to salvation army or recycle instead of throw so that I feel less guilty

but sentimental items are tricky

If still really need, then buy.

If don't dispose, it's not declutter.
It's hoarding.
